[0041] The following is combined Figures 1-12 The present invention will provide a detailed description of a camera mechanism and electronic device provided by the present invention through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0042] Firstly, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a camera mechanism 100, including: a fixed bracket 1, a camera module 2 and a flipping mechanism 3.

[0043] The fixed bracket 1 is used for detachable mounting to the housing 201 of the device body 200. The camera module 2 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 1. The flipping mechanism 3 is mounted on the fixed bracket 1. The flipping mechanism 3 and the camera module 2 are connected by a drive mechanism to drive the camera module 2 to flip relative to the fixed bracket 1. The components in the camera module 2 and the flipping mechanism 3 are all communicatively connected to the main board of the device body 200.

[0044] The camera mechanism 100 provided by this utility model can be externally installed in various electronic devices such as learning machines, mobile phones, laptops, and tablets, eliminating the need for separate camera mechanisms for each electronic device. This provides good versatility and avoids friction between the camera module 2 and the internal structure of the device body 1 due to assembly tolerances. The camera mechanism 100 enables functions such as taking photos, recording videos, scanning text, and capturing postures on electronic devices, thus broadening its application.

[0045] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the fixed bracket 1 is installed on the outer shell 201 of the device body 200. The camera module 2 can be rotated relative to the fixed bracket 1, thereby enabling the camera module 2 to shoot, record video, or scan from different angles of the device body 200. Specifically, as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the flipping mechanism 3 is mounted on the fixed bracket 1.

[0046] like Figure 9 As shown, the camera module 2 includes a housing 21 and a camera 22. A mounting base 23 is fixedly installed inside the housing 21 to provide support for the camera 22. Optionally, the camera 22 is a zoom camera. The zoom camera can adaptively adjust its focal length according to changes in the flip angle of the camera module 2, thereby ensuring the clarity of the captured image. The zoom camera 22 allows for switching between close-up and long-range shooting, and its adjustable focal length range ensures that the camera 22 is suitable for various application scenarios such as posture correction, behavior detection, photography, video recording, or scanning, improving the versatility of the camera assembly 100.

[0047] The housing 21 has a through hole, and the shooting end of the camera 22 is located at the through hole to prevent the housing 21 from obstructing the shooting field of the camera 22. The housing 21 and the mounting base 23 are both connected to the driving end of the flipping mechanism 3. The flipping mechanism 3 drives the entire camera module 2 to flip relative to the mounting bracket 1, so that the camera module 2 can shoot, record, or scan at any angle within the maximum flipping angle range.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 is installed on the top edge of the device body 200. The mounting bracket 1 and the outer casing 201 of the device body 200 are detachably connected. For example, the mounting bracket 1 and the outer casing 201 can be fixed together by a magnetic component. Alternatively, the mounting bracket 1 and the outer casing 201 can also be fixed together by fasteners such as screws or bolts.

[0049] During assembly, simply fix the mounting bracket 1 to the outer casing 201. The flipping mechanism 3 and the camera 22 are connected to the motherboard so that the motherboard can control the working state of the flipping mechanism 3, thereby controlling the flipping angle of the camera module 2. At the same time, the information collected by the camera 22 can be fed back to the motherboard in real time so that the motherboard can control other components of the device body 200 to make corresponding responses based on the information collected by the camera 22.

[0050] This utility model provides a camera mechanism 100. A fixed bracket 1 is detachably installed on the outer shell 201 of the device body 200. A flipping mechanism 3 is installed on the fixed bracket 1. A camera module 2 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 1. The components of the flipping mechanism 3 and the camera module 2 are all communicatively connected to the motherboard of the device body 200. The motherboard controls the flipping mechanism 3 to drive the camera module 2 to flip, so that the camera module 2 can shoot from different directions of the device body 200. At the same time, the information collected by the camera 22 can be fed back to the motherboard in real time, so that the motherboard can control other components of the device body 200 to make corresponding responses based on the information collected by the camera 22. The camera mechanism 100 provided by this utility model has good versatility. Users can manually install the camera mechanism 100 onto different types of electronic devices according to actual needs, which improves the ease of use of the camera mechanism 100 and saves the cost of electronic devices.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixed bracket 1 is provided with at least one buckle 13, which is used to be snapped onto the buckle seat on the housing 201.

[0052] Specifically, the clip 13 is fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting bracket 1 facing the installation position. A clip seat is fixedly mounted on the housing 201. The clip 13 and the clip seat are compatible. During assembly, the clip 13 is snapped into the clip seat to fix the entire camera assembly 100 to the device body 200; when disassembly is required, the clip 13 is removed from the clip seat to remove the camera assembly 100 from the device body 200, improving the convenience of use for users.

[0053] Alternatively, a buckle seat can be installed on the fixed bracket 1, and a buckle 13 can be installed on the outer shell 201 of the equipment body 200, which can also achieve a detachable connection between the fixed bracket 1 and the equipment body 200.

[0054] Optional, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are multiple snap fasteners 13. These snap fasteners 13 are spaced apart on the same side of the fixed bracket 1. Correspondingly, the outer shell 201 of the device body 200 is fixed with multiple snap fastener seats. During assembly, the multiple snap fasteners 13 are snapped into the multiple snap fastener seats one-to-one to further ensure the reliability of the connection between the fixed bracket 1 and the device body 200. The number of snap fasteners 13 can be two, three, six, or seven, etc., without specific limitation.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixed bracket 1 is provided with at least one positioning post 15. The positioning post 15 is used to be inserted into the positioning hole on the outer casing 201.

[0056] Specifically, the positioning post 15 protrudes from the side of the fixed bracket 1 facing the mounting position. The housing 201 is provided with positioning holes. During assembly, the positioning post 15 is inserted into the positioning holes to position the fixed bracket 1 and ensure the accuracy of the installation position of the camera mechanism.

[0057] Alternatively, positioning holes can be provided on the fixed bracket 1, and positioning posts 15 can be protruded on the outer shell 201 of the device body 200, which can also serve to position the fixed bracket 1.

[0058] Optional, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple positioning posts 15 are provided. These positioning posts 15 are spaced apart on the same side of the fixed bracket 1. Correspondingly, the outer shell 201 of the device body 200 has multiple positioning holes. During assembly, the multiple positioning posts 15 are inserted one-to-one into the multiple positioning holes to further ensure the accuracy of the installation position of the fixed bracket 1. The number of positioning posts 15 can be two, three, or five, etc., and there is no specific limitation.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments, at least one first magnetic element is installed within the fixing bracket 1. The polarity of the first magnetic element is different from that of the second magnetic element within the device body 200, and it is used to attract and fix the first magnetic element.

[0060] The first and second magnetic components can be permanent magnets. The magnetic poles of the first and second magnetic components are opposite. The first magnetic component is fixedly installed inside the mounting bracket 1. The second magnetic component is fixedly installed inside the outer casing 201 of the device body 200. In this embodiment, when the positioning post 15 and the latch 13 are included, when the positioning post 15 is inserted into the positioning hole and the latch 13 is engaged with the latch seat, the first and second magnetic components magnetically attract each other, thereby reducing or eliminating the installation gap between the mounting bracket 1 and the outer casing 201 of the device body 200, ensuring the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 1 and the device body 200.

[0061] The number of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component can also be multiple, and there is no specific limitation on this.

[0062] In other embodiments, the fixing bracket 1 is used to fix the housing 201 to the housing 201 using fasteners. These fasteners can be bolts or screws. Specifically, the fixing bracket 1 has a first threaded hole on its side facing the mounting position, and the housing 201 of the device body 200 has a second threaded hole. Fasteners are sequentially inserted into the first and second threaded holes to lock the fixing bracket 1 and the housing 201 of the device body 200 together. In this embodiment, which includes a positioning post 15 and a latch 13, when the positioning post 15 is inserted into the positioning hole and the latch 13 is engaged with the latch seat, the fixing bracket 1 and the housing 201 of the device body 200 are further fixed by the fasteners, thereby reducing or eliminating the installation gap between the fixing bracket 1 and the housing 201 of the device body 200, ensuring the stability of the connection between the fixing bracket 1 and the device body 200.

[0063] Multiple fasteners can be provided, and the number of first threaded holes and second threaded holes is consistent with the number of fasteners. Multiple fasteners are inserted one-to-one into multiple first threaded holes and multiple second threaded holes to further ensure the stability of the connection between the fixed bracket 1 and the equipment body 200.

[0064] Alternatively, while the first magnetic element is installed on the fixed bracket 1, the fixed bracket 1 can be further fixed to the outer shell 201 of the device body 200 by fasteners.

[0065] like Figure 10 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 has a groove 16. The flipping mechanism 3 is used to drive the camera module 2 to flip between a first state and a second state. When the camera module 2 is in the first state, the camera module 2 is housed in the groove 16. When the camera module 2 is in the second state, at least a portion of the camera module 2 is exposed outside the groove 16.

[0066] Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 can be installed on the back of the housing 201. The recess 16 is used to accommodate the camera module 2. The flipping mechanism 3 controls the camera module 2 to switch between a first state and a second state based on the control signals from the motherboard.

[0067] When the camera module 2 is in the first state, that is, when the camera module 2 is used as a rear camera 22 or when the camera module 2 needs to be stored, the entire camera module 2 is housed in the groove 16, and the back of the camera module 2 and the outer shell 201 are flush to ensure the aesthetics of the electronic device.

[0068] When the camera module 2 is in the second state, at least a portion of the camera module 2 is exposed outside the groove 16. A portion of the camera module 2 remains within the groove 16 to maintain constant connection with the flip mechanism 3. When the camera module 2 is used as a front-facing camera 22, the flip mechanism 3 drives the camera module 2 to flip upwards by 180° around an axis parallel to the length direction of the fixed bracket 1 and then stops to capture an image located directly in front of the device body 200. When the camera module 2 is used to scan the medium to be translated during flipping, the motherboard controls the flip mechanism 3 to drive the camera module 2 to maintain rotational movement at a certain speed within the maximum flip angle range. Users can install the camera mechanism 100 on electronic devices such as learning machines, mobile phones, tablets, or laptops according to their actual needs to meet the multi-functional applications of various electronic devices.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 11 As shown, the flipping mechanism 3 includes a drive component 31 and a rotating shaft 32. The drive component 31 is installed inside the fixed bracket 1.

[0070] The drive end of the drive component 31 is connected to the rotating shaft 32 for transmission. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably disposed on the groove wall opposite to the groove 16, and the camera module 2 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 32.

[0071] Optionally, the drive component 31 can be a stepper motor or a servo motor. The drive end of the drive component 31 and the rotating shaft 32 can be connected by a gear train to drive the rotating shaft 32 to rotate. Bearings are provided on the opposite sides of the groove wall of the groove 16. The rotating shaft 32 is rotatably mounted to the opposite side of the groove wall of the groove 16 via the bearings. The housing 21 and the fixing base 23 are respectively provided with mounting holes. The rotating shaft 32 is fixedly inserted through the housing 21 and the fixing base 23, and the rotating shaft 32 drives the camera module 2 to rotate relative to the fixing bracket 1.

[0072] Additionally, a gearbox can be installed inside the fixed bracket 1. The transmission end of the gearbox and the drive end of the drive component 31 are connected via a coupling to ensure that the camera module 2 rotates at a relatively slow speed, preventing damage from a violent impact between the camera module 2 and the device body 200 due to inertia. Furthermore, the slow rotation of the camera module 2 better adapts to user habits.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the housing 21 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 32. The housing 21 has a stepped surface 211. The lower step surface 213 of the stepped surface 211 is close to the rotating shaft 32, and the camera 22 is located on the higher step surface 212 of the stepped surface 211.

[0074] Specifically, when the camera module 100 is installed on the device body 200 and the camera module 2 is housed in the recess 16, the raised surface 212 remains flush with the back of the housing 201. The shooting end of the camera 22 is located on the raised surface 212. Figure 8 As shown, the pivot 32 passes through the opposite side of the housing 21 and is close to the top edge of the outer casing 201. The lower-level surface 213 is close to the top edge of the outer casing 201. Compared to the conventional method of setting the mounting surface where the shooting end of the camera 22 is located as a plane, this embodiment can expand the flip angle of the camera module 2, thereby expanding the shooting range of the camera 22. Secondly, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 12 As shown, this utility model also provides an electronic device, including a device body 200 and a camera mechanism 100 as described above. A mounting groove 202 is provided on the back of the device body 200. A fixing bracket 1 is received in the mounting groove 202 and detachably connected to the wall of the mounting groove 202.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting slot 202 is located on the back of the device body 200, near the top edge of the device body 200. The fixing bracket 1 is inserted into the mounting slot 202 and is detachably connected to the wall of the mounting slot 202. Figure 5 As shown, when the camera module 2 needs to be housed or used as a rear camera 22, the top edge of the camera module 2 is flush with the top edge of the device body 200. Figure 6 As shown, when at least a portion of the camera module 2 is exposed outside the mounting groove 202, the portion of the camera module 2 exposed outside the mounting groove 202 is perpendicular to the top edge of the device body 200.

[0076] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, when the camera 22 is located on the higher surface 212 of the stepped surface 211 and the lower surface 213 is close to the pivot 32, the maximum rotation angle of the camera module 2 relative to the device body 200 is greater than or equal to 240°, so as to ensure that the camera 22 has a sufficiently large shooting range, enabling the camera mechanism 100 to adapt to various application scenarios such as posture correction, behavior detection, photography, video recording or scanning, thereby improving the ease of use of electronic devices.

[0077] Since the electronic device includes a camera mechanism 100, and the specific structure of the camera mechanism 100 is as described in the above embodiments, the electronic device of this embodiment includes all the technical solutions of the above embodiments. Therefore, it has at least all the beneficial effects achieved by all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
